3 Day Axe Making Class

The axe, along with the knife, is one of man’s most basic tools.

This 3 day class will take you through the process of making two hand axes, one made by the forge welded “bow tie” method of construction where a steel edge is forge welded into a softer iron body and then folded around on itself to form an eye. We will also make a punched and drifted axe from carbon steel.

Axe making

At the end of the class you will go away with 2 axes with ash/hickory handles.
